Welcome to the Digi-Key Continuing Education Center! Starting with the first course of 2014, registrants of the Digi-Key Continuing Education Center are now eligible to earn IEEE Professional Development Hours by attending courses and participating in the chat function. The Digi-Key Continuing Education Center no longer uses a points system, graduation, or gives grades.

So, how do you earn the IEEE Professional Development Hours? You will qualify for 10 IEEE Professional Development Hours when you fulfill all four of the following criteria:

Attend 2 courses live during a semester (a semester is 6 months in length. January through June is one semester and July through December is one semester. There are 12 courses per semester)

Attend 4 out of the 5 classes per course

Participate in the chat function every day you attend

Complete course evaluation form within two weeks of the last day of each course you attend.

You must attend a minimum of 2 courses live to receive IEEE Professional Development Hours, but you can attend more courses and earn more hours as follows:

If you attend 3 courses and fulfill all of the above criteria, you will receive 15 hours.

If you attend 4 courses and fulfill all of the above criteria, you will receive 20 hours.
